Digital Library Systems and Services is pleased to announce that Tommy Ingulfsen has accepted our offer to join SUL as Digital Media Infrastructure Engineer. Tommy's start date is February 2.

Tommy comes to us from CalTech Libraries where he had a diverse portfolio of software development responsibilities touching many dimensions of their digital library program. He maintained their ePrints repository and made code contributions back to the ePrints software, was the technical lead for CalTech's digital preservation initiatives, and notably managed their digital infrastructure in support of an oral histories project.

The VELA 6911 collection contains materials related to the creation of Victor Gama's multimedia performance piece, VELA 6911. The work is based on the signature nuclear explosion double-flash that the U.S. Vela Satellite registered in 1979 over Antarctica near South Africa.

Li Ka Shing Conference Center, StanfordApril 13, 20158am - 4pm

The focus of this event will be around data publishing, data sharing, reproducibility, metadata, and data reuse. We would like to bring together members of the Stanford community who are interested in these topics to discuss how we can as a research community better support these principles and educate our colleagues on their benefits to furthering research. Connecting up individuals on Stanford's campus who hold these common interests is a great way to advance these goals.
